I just installed a Gnarly Woods pipe and Turbine Core II S/A on my '03 200. Jetting is in accordance with both CDave's and FMF's recommendations (Main jet = 155, Pilot jet = 45, AS = 1.5 turns out, stock needle in mid-clip position, airbox snorkel removed and lid drilled), 32:1 Maxima K2 with 93 octane fuel, BR8EG plug, air filter serviced.
I did some lugging around the yard with the kids, but then after the kids went inside, I got on the pipe and had the bike screaming around the yard. The power was amazing but the throttle response was still less than expected...I would twist the throttle open in 2nd gear (while moving slowly) and the engine was slow to build up. (NO FRONT WHEEL LOFT!) I didn't hear a "boowah" or sense that the bike was "falling on its face", but I was surprised at the delay before the revs built up. Oh man, when the revs did build up, it was AWESOME! (Ambient temperature was in the mid 50s during these conditions.) I can't wait to get that bike back in the woods!!!
Here's the deal...when I parked the bike I noticed spooge running down the outlet of my spark arrestor. This surprised me considering how hard I had ran the bike (about 10 minutes of 'on pipe' operation). I understand that slow speed ops will cause spooge buildup, but I expected the 'on pipe' ops would have blown that out.
Despite the recommendations for jetting with the new pipe & S/A, is this spooge being caused by a "too rich" jetting condition? What is causing the slow throttle response?
Thanks for any help you can provide!!!
